Wholeness / Oneness

A great poem, a timeless stanza of thought, a true writing that stirs and swells the heart; what are these precious forms save a moment of Love plucked from Time to stand as testimony to a perfection briefly remembered as the living foundation of all things. The poet is presented the proposal, the moment where the Great Pain beckons him to marriage. He is awakened from a slumber to answer th...

We must not fear these wild pulsations of hope-filled feelings too deep to hold... for they have an accord with themselves, and their own path to follow. These sometimes too strong stirrings of that unbearable wish for a compassion that can embrace all of creation must not be dampened simply because we don't understand the pressing of their presence in us. They are not asking us to know what...

If you know the content of your own heart ... If you can be consciously aware of this condition ... Then you not only know the secret contents Of the heart of everyone else you meet, But you also know that there is no difference Between you and all of these "others" In the realization of this undivided life You are given the Grace of knowing That God is one ... And that each one...

The Kingdom of Heaven is like a man who passing over a certain ridge comes upon an unknown Mountain outside his country and there catches a glimpse of a valley within a valley..

In all the worlds above and below there is but One Balance. This perfect equipoise is not God Himself, but the expression of His Life in the uncreated form of three forces unified. Balance is that indefinable third force where what pushes and what pulls are neither one nor the other, but a force transformed into a wholly new potential. This fully alive, ever active Supreme Stasis is the hidd...

With one hand He gives, with the other He takes Filling and emptying the soul, Carving out receptivity to His Name With each deft blow of His soul-sculpturing hands. I am never full, nor ever bereft.

Part 1: It is impossible to hear the "Voice of Heaven" -- to be in any level of communication with real conscience -- and to be talking to yourself at the same time.

Part 2: In stillness, I see. In silence, I hear. Seeing and hearing in this way, I am instructed... And come to understand.

Remastered Classic Talk: 9/14/16 - Part 1: Real-life is the ceaseless expression of converging celestial forces as altogether they manifest what "cries out" to be harmonized in creation by the (merciful and loving) will of the Creator.

Part 2: Most everything that we think we "see"... isn't as it appears to be; that's why "wait and watch" is the true path that leads to the summit of higher self-knowledge.

Remastered Classic Talk: 10/14/15 - The fact that we can't see how, too often, we follow a part of ourselves that is blind -- as evidenced by the eventual pain of having to pay for its missteps -- proves that this 'I' -- this part of us must surely be as blind as our guide, or else we would be able to see the blindness of this "self" in whose footsteps we have placed our trust!

Remastered Classic Talk: 2/24/16 - The real victory in life, the only one that lasts beyond passing time and changing circumstances, is awakening to the realization of another order of being -- already within your Self that neither time nor circumstance can ever take from you.

Classroom Talk: 3/27/2024 - New, true self-knowledge re-orders the world we see because, for one thing, the way we experience each moment of life is inseparable from how we understand it; so that just as a fractured mirror can only reflect back an image that seems shattered, so is it true that a divided mind can't see what is holy.
